HE COULD HAVE CALLED
TEN THOUSAND ANGELS

They bound the hands of Jesus
in the garden when He prayed;
They led Him thru the streets in shame,
They spat upon the Saviour
so pure and free from sin;
They said "Crucify Him
~ He's to blame"

He could have called
ten thousand angels
to destroy the world
and set Him free
He could have called
ten thousand angels
But He died alone,
for you and me.

Upon His precious head
they placed a crown of thorns;
They laughed and said,
"Behold the King"
They struck Him and they cursed Him
and mocked His holy name,
All alone He suffered everything.

He could have called
ten thousand angels
to destroy the world
and set Him free
He could have called
ten thousand angels
But He died alone,
for you and me.

When they nailed Him to the Cross,
His mother stood nearby,
He said, "Woman,
behold thy son!"
He cried, "I thirst for water,
but they gave Him none to drink.
Then the sinful work
of man was done.

He could have called
ten thousand angels
to destroy the world
and set Him free
He could have called
ten thousand angels
But He died alone,
for you and me.

To the howling mob He yielded;
He did not for mercy cry.
The Cross of shame
He took alone.
And when He cried, "It's finished!",
He gave Himself to die,
Salvation's wondrous
plan was done.

He could have called
ten thousand angels
to destroy the world
and set Him free
He could have called
ten thousand angels
But He died alone,
for you and me.

This is a MelloMarsha Creation.
